Strong's Lexicon epilanthanomai: To forget, to neglect Original Word: ἐπιλανθάνομαι Word Origin: From the preposition ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and λανθάνω (lanthanō, meaning "to forget" or "to be hidden") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7911 - שָׁכַח (shakach): To forget, ignore, wither - H2142 - זָכַר (zakar): To remember, recall, call to mind (often used in the negative to imply forgetting) Usage: The Greek verb ἐπιλανθάνομαι (epilanthanomai) primarily means "to forget" or "to neglect." It conveys the idea of failing to remember or disregarding something that should be kept in mind. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where there is a spiritual or moral implication, such as forgetting God's works, commands, or one's own identity in Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, memory was highly valued, especially in oral cultures where history, tradition, and religious teachings were passed down verbally. Forgetting was often seen as a failure of duty or responsibility. In the Jewish context, remembering God's deeds and commands was central to faithfulness, as seen in the frequent calls to remember God's covenant and laws in the Old Testament. HELPS Word-studies 1950 epilanthánomai (from 1909 /epí, "on, fitting" and 2990 /lanthánō, "unnoticed") – properly, to overlook, especially the effects that go with failing to notice. 1950 /epilanthánomai ("overlooking"), as an intensification of 2990 (lanthánō), focuses on the consequences that build on the forgetting (note the epi, "upon").
